UPDATE: Cassondra Goodson was arrested late Friday at her home and returned to jail, prosecutors said. Arraignment on her charges is expected next week.

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- A former employee of the Parmadale Institute has been indicted on 29 charges related to an on-going sexual relationship with a teenage girl from the treatment center, according to an indictment unsealed Friday.

A Cuyahoga County grand jury accused Cassondra Goodson, 34, of Shaker Heights, of having sex with the girl in a hallway and conference room at Parmadale, as well as at Goodson's home and a North Randall hotel.

Court records also show Goodson violated a no-contact order with the girl, prompting authorities to seek her arrest Friday.

The allegation is the latest trouble for Parmadale, a treatment center for troubled children that is run by Catholic Charities. In September, the Ohio Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services, which licenses facilities like Parmadale, placed it on probation amid the allegations of the sexual abuse.

The grand jury indicted Goodson on a dozen charges of sexual battery and 15 charges of unlawful sexual conduct with a minor. All are third-degree felonies. Goodson also is charged with two counts of interfering with custody, a first-degree misdemeanor. Her attorney, Steven Gaulding, could not be reached.

The indictment shows Goodson and the girl's sexual relationship began Feb. 16, when they had oral sex in an office at Parmadale. The document shows that they had sex several more times between Feb. 17 and May 26 in a conference room, as well as a hallway at the center. The girl, according to the charges, was 13 when the relationship began and turned 14 over the summer.

On May 27, the indictment shows, Goodson and the girl had sex at the North Randall hotel. Other sexual incidents took place in Cleveland a few days later, the document says.

Goodson was fired from her job at Parmadale in the summer, soon after the allegations surfaced. She had worked at the facility for nearly nine years and had been a shift coordinator at the time of her termination.

The grand jury alleged that Goodson and the girl continued to meet, even after the girl had been released from Parmadale, though no public document indicates where she was placed. She was from Cuyahoga County.

Goodson and the girl met again and had sex at Goodson's home in November, the indictment said. On Dec. 5, they also engaged in sex there. The next day, sheriff's deputies arrested Goodson and charged her in a criminal complaint. Common Pleas Judge David Matia set her bond at $100,000. Goodson made bond days later.

On Friday, Judge Nancy Fuerst wrote in a court filing that Goodson had violated the no-contact order with the girl and issued a warrant for her arrest. She had not been picked up as of Friday evening.

"We at Parmadale are deeply troubled by the serious charges involving a former employee who had been terminated last summer,'' said Parmadale's director J. Charles Ross in a statement. "Our first responsibility and concern is for the protection, safety and well-being of the residents we serve, and we have zero tolerance for staff misconduct. We have and continue to cooperate fully with law enforcement.''

Parmadale filed a report with the Ohio Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services earlier this month. The report indicated the agency said it was taking steps to prevent similar incidents. Ross said the steps include administrative changes, as well as changes in the direct-care leadership.

He said the treatment center has added video surveillance cameras, instituted daily safety checks by management staff and increased the availability of clinical personnel.

Disability Rights Ohio, an agency that advocates for youths with mental health disabilities, applauded the efforts of county prosecutors and law enforcement. Michael Kirkman, executive director of the group, said the indictment sends "a clear and much-needed message to those who hurt our clients, children with disabilities, who, instead of receiving needed services, have been abused and traumatized or, in many cases, re-traumatized.

Parmadale houses youths who act out aggressively, are chemically dependent, have attempted suicide or have other behavioral problems. Youth are referred there by juvenile courts or sent by departments of children and family services throughout the state, which contract with Parmadale for its services.

Since the allegation in late July, authorities for the Ohio Department of Youth Services and Summit County have pulled youths from the facility. Parmadale has about 30 children, with Cuyahoga County having about 20 or so.
